[Intro]
Roll and I'll just feel something

[Chorus]
It's hard to be
Yeah, it's hard for me to keep arm's length from my baby
Whoa, can't you see
When I'm away from her it sho'nuff drive me crazy

[Refrain]
Oh
Something inside of me, when she's gone I miss her so
I wanna tell her how I feel, I just gotta let her know
When I'm alone with her
And she's in my arms, I'm in heaven

[Verse 1]
It's all I see
In all my dreams, we'll be happy together
Side by side
I hope that our love will stay this way forever

[Refrain]
Oh
Something inside of me, got a feeling that won't let go
I wanna tell her how I feel, I just gotta let her know

[Verse 2]
Lookin' through her eyes
I see paradise, no mistake, she's full of fire
Like a real live wire, a house on fire
She's my burnin', she's my burnin', burnin' desire

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Well, it's hard to be
Yeah, it's hard for me to keep arm's length from my baby
Oh, can't you see
When I'm away from her that it sho'nuff drive me crazy

[Refrain]
Oh
Something inside of me, when she's gone I miss her so
I wanna tell her how I feel, I just gotta let her know
[Verse 4]
When I'm alone with her
And she's in my arms, I'm in heaven
Like a real live wire, a house on fire
She's my burnin', she's my burnin', burnin' desire

[Outro]
Hard to be, hard for me
Hard to keep, keep me from my baby
Hard to be, it's so hard for me
Hard to keep, keep me from my baby
Hard to be, it's so hard for me
Hard to keep, keep me from my baby
Hard to be, hard for me
Hard to keep, keep me from my baby
